Guild Wars II “Last Stand At Southsun” Starting On May 28th

A new event is going to take place in Guild Wars II the next week: the Last Stand at the Southsun event is going to start on May 28th, offering new contents. Players will have to join together to hunt a renegade sylvari called Canach who has unleashed some terrible creatures whose only goal is to destroy everything. Together with the new story, players will also be able to enjoy some new features like a new improved World XP, custom PvP arenas, new WvW abilities and more.

Guild Wars 2 is set in the fantasy world of Tyria, following the re-emergence of Destiny’s Edge, a disbanded guild dedicated to the fighting of the Elder Dragons. The game uses an enhanced version of the first Guild Wars engine allowing for better graphics and the use of the Havok physics system.

Players are able to create their character by choosing from five races and eight professions, divided into armor classes. Unlike many other games of the genre, there’s no dedicated healer class since the developers felt restrictive to always have a healer inside the party. Another unique feature is the “World versus World” large scale combat taking place in a persistent world independent from the main world.
